Young People

To acknowledge IDAHOBIT 2020, Knox City Council hosted a webinar on self-care for LGBTIQ+ communities and how to be a supportive ally during coronavirus. The panel consisted of Mark Camilleri, Senior Practitioner at QueerSpace; Finn, an LGBTIQ+ young person; and Liam, an LGBTIQ+ ally and parent of a trans young person.

The panel discussed the impact of coronavirus on LGBTIQ+ communities and provided tips and strategies for maintaining mental wellbeing.

The ways we explore the world have changed for now, but don’t let that stop you from taking a tour through art exhibitions, visiting the zoo, exploring space and time, or discovering the inner genius of the world of Harry Potter!

Many great venues from across the globe have opened up for online exhibitions, tours and events. School Focused Youth Service and Knox City Council Youth Services has created a list of some sites from our resources, for you to explore all online…visit the link to investigate the possibilities

We are all going through unusual times since the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic.

During this time of isolation we want to give you an opportunity to express yourself through documenting #isolife with a photography competition exploring some different themes but also to focus on the looking after ourselves, through self-care strategies, creativity, spreading joy and kindness.

Competition runs weekly from Monday 20 April - Monday 8 June 2020 with a different theme each week!

Check out how easy it is to be involved and to post some great pics!
